My theory: they’re stealing EVEN MORE now
I’m convinced the recent surge in trash orders isn’t due to cheap customers, but DD SIPHONING EVEN MORE OF OUR $$$$ lately.
Case in point:
Tonight I accepted a 7 mile for $9.00 (sadly as good as it gets lately) offer. Picked the order up but due to a freeway closure couldn’t deliver it in a timely manner. I explained this to tech support, who decided to cancel the order. In return, I’d receive 50% pay for my troubles.
The 50% pay I received was………$8.38, not $4.50!!! The $9.00 offer should’ve been $16.76, in other words. 😩
If you’re wondering why your earnings have dropped 40-50% this week, this is probably why. It would also explain the $1.00 tips from noted good tippers, and deliveries to wealthy neighborhoods known for high paying offers suddenly morphing into meccas of (even more) lowball offers. It’s not the gas. It’s not the war. It isn’t even the cheap customers, but DD greed.
